Cultural Crossovers #12: Ant-Man

You’re an ass working for SHIELD. Does the audience smell HYDRA? I think they do.

(Someone’s going to need to explain prisons, seeing as the locals only use ’em for remand. Good cultural overlay time.)

Shit, humans, we have a… reputation… for strict justice, and we know you don’t have meme rehab, but once a soph’s paid his debts, don’t be a bag of dicks.

Good grief, you invited him to your backstab-fest?

Also, this particle does what? The scientists are scribbling in their notepads explaining all the reasons why that won’t work, and while you can do some ontotechnology with the Planck constant, you’d, like, totally break electromagnetism.

“obstacles on the road to peace,” huh? You’ve been listening to Eye-in-the-Flame advertising again.

Again with the bag of dicks. Ooh, asshat. That’s a good description.

Squishy.

Oh, your rationalizations are so transparent. So, maybe you’re not HYDRA. Just an independent asshat.

It’s always nice to watch a professional at work.

Even one who was totally set up.

You imploded a goat? Also, why does it make any difference if it’s organic or not? Carbon ain’t that special – bet there was some carbon fiber in that suit – or is this vitalism?

So, do Pym particles ever decay, or is there going to be a bunch of stuff lying around in weird-ass exotic matter states for the rest of ever? ‘Cause there are some interesting questions with regards to chemical interactions and such.

Well, someone took a level in decency.

Aww, they made it a pet. Shiny. Although its ability to eat tiny little molecules with its great honking molecules raises SO MANY QUESTIONS.

I guess they wanted something alive due to how complex the chemicals are. It doesn’t matter if a few metal bonds are broken here and there in a block of steel, but if the heart ends up shrinking slower than the rest, or even just a few blood vessels in the brain don’t shrink at the right rate . . .
